Remodeling’s Cost vs. Value Report 2020 examined the cost of two popular types of home additions in our area: bathrooms and master suites.
The report estimated that an upscale bathroom addition would cost about $90,871 in the D.C. metro area. Remodeling’s imaginary bathroom included a neo-angle shower in a separate stall, soaking tube, stone countertops, in-floor heating and other luxurious features.
They also priced construction of an upscale master bedroom addition at $286,777. For that price, you would receive a 32 x 20’ suite built over a crawlspace. Your new suite would feature a sitting area, custom bookcases, gas fireplace with stone hearth and custom mantle, walking cost and French doors.
